How the Shutter Button Works
The shutter button has two stages, You can press it down halfway or fully The
two levels of shutter button operation are as follows:
When it is pressed halfway:
• Pressing the shutter button down halfway
activates autofocusing (AF), and also
activates the automatic exposure (AE)
mechanism and sets the shutter speed
and aperture value.
• The exposure (the combination of shutter
speed and aperture value) appears on the
LCD panel and in the viewfinder ((?)4).
When it is pressed fully:
• The shutter is released to take the picture
and the film advances by one frame,
If an Extender (optional) is used and the ma)dmum ^^erture (the lowest
f/number) of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6, autcrfocusing will not operate.
For details, refer to the extender’s instructbns,
